Virtual Coffee {1}

I’m trying something new today…. Amy over at Lucky number 13 has a weekly linkup called Virtual Coffee, and this week I decided to give it a shot. So for today, let’s pretend we’re meeting up for coffee…

If we were really having coffee today, I’d tell you that I’ve been so tired lately, though the kids are finally sleeping through the night most nights. I’d tell you that I think I’m tired all the time cause I can’t make my brain shut up for even five minutes. I’m always thinking, thinking, thinking but it’s like a dog chasing its tail cause I’m not getting anywhere. If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I just need to relax, but I don’t know how anymore. The anxiety is always there, the undercurrent of my life.

But then I’d shake it off, and I’d ask you how you like this banana bread I made today, it’s nice and moist isn’t it? The secret is to add sour cream, you know. And then we’d sip our coffee quietly for a minute and I’d start thinking that life is what it is and there’s no point in worrying about what may or may not happen, all we can do is live the life we’re given. If we were having coffee today, I’d ask you how you’re doing, what’s new with you? And you’d tell me about your life lately, even the unimportant things, because you know that sometimes we just need to be allowed to sit quietly and listen to others. And I’d finish my coffee, and reach for the pot and I’d let your voice soothe me as I start on my second cup.
